I am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.3 E/ B9 Y! p' f7 `

Some of my questions might be RTFM, but I'm still trying to figure out which manual that might be.0 f; s2 `5 G$ z: P% [" d

I have 3 ADSL connections (2Mb, 1,5Mb and 1Mb - from 2 different ISPs) which I want to use all together to provide access to the internet to our clients via WiFi and a few stationary PCs.! A8 O* w/ L& r3 A
The server I want to use has a total of 5 NICs, so I want to use 3 of them to connect to the ADSL modems, 1 to a switch to connect the access points to and the 5th to a switch to connect the PCs.

As I am in Bolivia, I have no access to the ADSL Modems, so I am stuck with their configuration all of them using the same IP range (192.168.0.x) and Subnet (255.255..255.0), I hope it will still be possilbe even with 3 NICs in the same IP range (?).

Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.) T4 r% R+ z+ _1 r: ]5 G

I read that 2 DHCP servers on one network are not the best idea, but I guess if the network is created with that NIC and I connect a computer directly to that NIC it should get an IP?# f1 U8 T! U8 n* x

Any hints on where I should start?
